confidence sort of progressively increasing until I think it was probably Montreal where it was really visible, where, you know, between the walls.

And you thought, wow, yeah, this looks like something like Hamilton used to look.

And then he's followed it up.

And then, you know, the Barcelona win was from the top draw.

So, yeah, I think there's every reason to believe now he has those things in place that he can continue at this level.

group of questions where do you want to start i think rather than seeing it as it's um sometimes portrayed as lewis hamilton coming in with this superior knowledge of um from superior teams and saying what a mess right this needs sorting this needs sorting and this needs sorting i think it's more he's coming in he's tried the car he says i cannot drive this this just this is hopeless i can't drive it in this way you've developed a car completely different from anything

That I need to drive and the impact of on that and all the throughout the department throughout the whole company and all the different departments and all the different engineering groups will be, you know, if we're going to give him a car that.

like he says that he needs, that behaves the way that we... It's a completely different philosophy.

Everything, the whole car, the aerodynamics of the car have been developed around our previous philosophy.

We've got to buy in.

If we're going to take notice of Lewis, we've got to buy in.

And it's a complete radical rethink on everything.

And that's what Freddy Vasseur has essentially done.

And he has pushed, you know, against the grain in quite a few cases.

And you can imagine there would be resistance because you've got engineers there who are saying, why are we taking notice of the slower driver?

The faster driver says this is good.

So, yeah, there'd be a natural reluctance there that it would be Fred's job to galvanize everybody around what it is that he's trying to do to give Lewis what it is he's asking for.

I don't think it's Lewis saying, this is how you do it.

I think it's Lewis saying, this is what I need and you're paying me all this money.

You've employed me and you're putting one hand behind my back.
